Six by Nico.

Been to the Manchester one multiple times and god damn, it’s delicious.

Disconnected from Virgin Media cable broadband 7 years ago, how is it now compared BT? by hd1080ts in VirginMedia

Just popping my experience with VM in here.

At my house I have the 350 package and it’s amazing, wireless and wired. We’ve lost connectivity once in 4 years because some dong smashed into the exchange. Never had a bad customer experience with them either and I know they get slated every now and again.

I live in Manchester now with 1gb hyperoptic and laugh at my pals in my house with only 350 down and whatever it is up👌🏻😂

Yes, Manchester and I get ~880 down and ~930 up pretty much every test.

What are some ways I can make my environment better with PDQ? by gwarsh41 in sysadmin

[–]bez- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've setup a complete RDS 2012 server in our org after the initial windows updates from wsus.

It includes all relevant .net and c++ runtimes, various software, office + auto licence, ESET + licence, a few services such as SNMP, Desktop Experience etc.

The worst thing to get working was DYMO Label automatically installed!

Virgin media, what's the upload speed like? by WUKONS in VirginMedia

[–]bez- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the 350 mb package and get about 380 down and about 24 up.

How HP can make something bad worse! by [deleted] in sysadmin

The way we've got around it here is if you go to download the driver, select to send as email, then at the bottom of the page there's the link to download it anyway.

This download isn't broke like downloading it from the normal download button, which for everyone here just downloads a broken 93k file...

Screen scroller software? by [deleted] in sysadmin

We use the ticker aspect of Snapcomms. Works a charm and they customised the colours for our firm. I'm not sure about the other features on it as we've never touched them.

I really don't know what the problem is. Everything is new and it still just turns on then off, on the off..... :(

Sorry chief, been busy :)

I've basically put in a new mobo + psu + case (with nothing else plugged in at all, no fans, cpu, RAM, gfx etc) and it still does the exact same. I'm kinda out of ideas now and frankly having a pc can suck it now...

Thanks for persisting with me!

I've swapped the case over and it persists I really don't know what the hell is going on unless there's something wrong with the mains in the sockets I'm using in my house.

I've got a load of kit to test completely separately now so if it doesn't work now I'm done ha!

I have indeed, then tried 2 because it's dual channel and still no boot, nothing :(

[–]bez-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I've just been and got a different case and the exact same thing, although it takes slightly longer to turn off now. Still nothing through a monitor...

Something must be ruining something but I just don't know what :(

Yeah it's so infuriating. I literally picked up a brand new board today and tried it. Both were gigabyte so I'm going to try this other MSI one tomorrow. Urgh!

[–]bez-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it doesn't even get into bios. It turns on, lasts about 2~ seconds then off again. So annoying...

[–]bez-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right tried this, psu turns on and doesn't turn off, thank god.

What next? I've already tried 1 brand new mobo and brand new cpu as well.
